Actor Lee Jong Gu’s wife opened up about her painful past and the abuse she suffered since childhood.

On the March 10 episode of MBC’s Oh Eun Young Report – Marriage Hell, a couple who divorced 20 years ago but remarried two years ago appeared on the show. The guests were actor Lee Jong Gu, who recently gained attention for his role in the hit film Exhuma, and his wife.

During the session, Dr. Oh Eun Young pointed out, “The wife has deep-seated anxiety. She is warm-hearted and enjoys being around people, but in her relationship, even minor triggers feel like attacks to her.”

She then asked, “Why is the wife so fearful? It seems like she struggles to handle situations where the other person’s attitude is intimidating or commanding.”

That’s when the wife made a heartbreaking confession.

She hesitated before saying, “I wouldn’t go as far as to call it violence, but when I was young, my older brother had the mindset that ‘women need to be beaten.’ The wooden broom he used was freshly cut, so it hurt a lot.”

Her words shocked everyone.

She continued, “My mother wouldn’t stop him—she would just leave. That made me resent her. Instead of intervening, she just walked away. Maybe she thought my brother was ‘educating’ me. I hated her for that.”

The wife then revealed another painful memory: “She even threw stones at me, telling me not to follow her to the market.”

She went on to recall an incident before her wedding, saying, “I went to discuss my wedding with my brother, and he asked, ‘Are you still seeing that guy?’ I told him I was getting married. Since my parents couldn’t help with the wedding preparations, I said, ‘I guess I have no luck when it comes to parents.’”

But instead of support, she received violence. “Then he beat me with a broom. That pain still lingers inside me.”

Her confession left the studio in stunned silence, highlighting the deep scars from her past.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
